The second souvenir from the wife's trip to Saga. This Karatsu sake features a picture of Shoki (Shoki the Plague-Queller).
First, we had it cold. It has a soft sweetness on the palate for a very dry sake. Overall, it is a gentle dry sake with no corners. It is my favorite dry sake 🎵.
The sweetness comes out more when heated. It was a sake with a wide strike zone as it claims to be its main product 😋.
I had the best beef curry in my life 😋.
I had beef curry, but next time I want to try soba noodles!
I had this sake which is a collaboration of rice from Saga and Fukuoka. I didn't know that Jukinmu was the name of the rice. I didn't know that.
It was clean and not modern in a good way. It had a good balance of being clean and not modern in a good way, but not old-fashioned either.
Good evening, ma-ki-san. The curry was good, but the beef tenderloin was very plump and tasty. I was shouting "yummy" in the center of the government office!
Encore.
Yamada Nishiki.
The balance of sweetness and umami is as expected.
The freshness of the taste slightly breaks the balance and the richness of the umami aftertaste is lost...!
Manrei Winter Sake - All Yamadanishiki 720ml
Rice used: 100% Yamadanishiki produced in Saga/Sochi
Rice polishing ratio: 65
Alcohol content: 15%.
This sake is made from Yamada-Nishiki, which is a non-polished rice.
The price is lower because of this.
It has been cold all of a sudden this past week, and the daikon radishes in our vegetable garden have grown large.
I thought it would be a good match for oden.
Maybe I should have tried it lukewarm 🍶.
